DUMPING-VEHICLE.

No. 929,3sh2.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, PHILIPP BRAND and OHRIsTIAN G. GLASRUD, 'citizens of the United States, and both residents of Sheyenne, in the county of Eddy and State of North Dakota, have invented a new and Improved Dumping-Vehicle, of which the following is a ful, clear, and exact descri tion. This invention relates to dumping ve iicles, and more particularly to a vehicle of this class having a running gear of any suitable type, a frame rigidly carried by the rear axle of the vehicle, and a Wagon body mounted upon the frame, the rear axle serving as a pivot to permit the bodyto be tilted so that its contents can be dumped.

An object of the invention is to provide a simple, strong and inexpensive dumping vehicle in which the wagon body is rigidly mounted upon the rear axle, and in which thek body is so balanced that little effort is required to tilt it to dum the contents.

A further object of the invention is to rovide a vehicle of the class described, in W ich the weight of the tilting body is mainly carried by the rear wheels, in which the rear axle is ri id with the frame supporting the body so t at the axle can be turned within the hubs of the rear wheels to tilt the body of the vehicle, and in which the body can be easily returned to and held in a normal position after being dumped.

The invention consists in the construction and combination of parts to be more fully described hereinafter and particularly set forth in the claims.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in all the views, and in Which- Figure 1 is a plan view of an embodiment of our invention showing the body partly broken away; Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the vehicle; Fig. 3 is a similar view showing the body tilted; and Fig. 4 is an enlarged transverse section on the line 4-4 of Fig. 1.

Before proceeding to a more detailed explanation of our invention, it should be clearly understood that the rear axle itself, of the vehicle, supports the weight of the body and at the same time acts as a pivot which is rotatable with the body and turns within the hubs of the rear wheels to permit the body to be tilted. This construction obviates the necessity of providingv special Specification of Letters Patent.

ing shocks of grain to the threshin machine, Y

or in trans orting hay or the like from point to point. t is often a source of loss of time and labor that ordinary vehicles must be loaded and unloaded by hand. For example, in carrying shocks of grain to a threshing machine with an ordinaryy vehicle, it is usually necessary for the shocks to be thrown from the vehicle while the horses stand in the dust and heat and are idle. By means of our invention the shocks can be dumped at the threshing machine without even stopping the vehicle. The body is so balanced that a slight effort only, is necessary to tilt it to permit the load to slide therefrom and to escape at the open rear end which drags upon the ground. When the load has been dumped movably holds the reach 15 upon the bolster.

The tongue 16 is secured to the bolster in the usual manner andy serves for the attachment of draft animals. It will be understood that these parts may be of any common or'preferred form. A brace 17 of the usual ty e extends downwardly and forwardly from tlie reach to the under side of the front axle, being preferably provided with an opening therethrough, which receives the lower end of the king bolt tohold it in place.

The rear yaxle 18 upon which the rear wheels 19 are mounted, extends through a suitable opening 20 inthe reach and has a collar 21 at each side of the latter to preventv the movement of the axle transversely of they i reach. Pins 22 arran ed in openings of the axle serve to prevent t e displacement of the collars longitudinally of the axle. Braces 12 members 24 and thereupon cross members 25, is mounted upon the rear axle, the longitudinal members of each pair being arranged at opposite sides of one of the' wheels. cross members 25 arey positioned, respec- The g tively, infront of and at the rear of the Wheels 19.
